Description

Short summary (3-5 sentences) describing the issue.

We want to use the ISO date-time format yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ for the Odata API request and response.

Which assemblies and versions are known to be affected e.g. OData WebApi lib 6.1.0

Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData(8.0.2)
linq2db.EntityFrameworkCore(5.5.0)

What is actually happening.

{
"id": 11123,
"customer_id": 3,
"customer_name": "Test By Vishal Thoriya",
"receipted_at": "2018-11-15T12:00:00+05:30",
"payment_method_type": "EFT",
"reference": "erytruy",
"amount": 113.0000,
"payment_processing_type": "manual",
"transaction_id": "erytruy",
"status": "Completed",
"customer_type": "buyer"
},

Currently, it is giving results in above datetime format "2018-11-15T12:00:00+05:30", but we want in "2021-04-13T14:15:22Z"

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Reproduce the OData request and response behavior with Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData 8.0.2 and linq2db.EntityFrameworkCore 5.5.0, then trace where DateTime formatting is selected; done when the API uses the requested yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ format consistently.
